As for the phones’ other specifications, there’s barely any info out there right now. Speculation has it that Google won’t be going the way of the dual camera for these Pixels, but will be following the iPhone’s trend of removing the headphone jack. A 1440p resolution is also expected for the duo, but there are no details yet on what kind of display technology Google will be utilizing for the handsets.
